从传播学的角度看翻译原则

翻译作为一种跨文化的信息交流活动,其本质是传播。本文应用传播学理论重新审视翻译标准。从克服传统的翻译标准一味要求译者忠实于原文,对原作者负责,而忽视译者创造性和目标受众反映的局限,从一个更加开放和动态的视角探讨翻译标准问题。认为,译文应准确反映原文信息和译文易于目标受众所接受为原则。

A communicative approach to the principles of translation

Translation as a cross-cultural information exchange activity,by the very nature is communication. This thesis applies the Communication Theory to re-examine the principles of translation so as to overcome the limitations of the traditional translation principles, which request the translators be faithful to the original text and be responsible to the original author but neglect the creativity of the translator and the reflection of the target readers. From a more open and dynamic vision, this thesis discussed the principles of translation, and provided two translation principles ： 1 ） the translation should express the information of the original text correctly; 2） the translation should be adapt to the target readers, in order to broaden the vision of the communication and to provide guidance to the translation practice.
